ForBio conference 2017 // Conferência Forbio 2017!

I participated in this years’ Forbio conference. Forbio is the Scandinavian Research School in Biosystematics, lead by my friend Hugo de Boer. Norwegian Research Schools organise courses and events aimed to train and support PhD students. Forbio has been central to my PhD – so far I have participated in two conferences, received a travel grant and signed up/participated in two courses. We are privileged to have such infrastructures – we get to learn, network, mature and enjoy from its friendly atmosphere. Here is a photo of the conference, with a Clove – the symbol of the 25 de Abril – the Portuguese anti-facist revolution … and its most important song “In every corner, a friend! In every face, equality.”
